LR: Larger LNG carriers could increase capacity and reduce costs
Lloyd’s Register (LR) has identified 200,000m³ LNG carriers as a potential next step in fleet renewal, with new analysis indicating that larger vessels could increase cargo capacity and reduce transportation costs while retaining access to most major LNG terminals.
The findings, published in LR Advisory’s terminal compatibility and commercial evaluation report for GTT and presented at Gastech 2026, assessed representative 200,000m³ LNG carrier designs against existing LNG infrastructure and modelled their commercial performance across Atlantic and Pacific trading routes.
